Yeah, but you could probably squeeze 1.75" without the fenders.gcrank1 said:

This is the bike I put the most miles on, I ride it to the store, to work and for fitness.
1966 Malvern Star 2 Star. Powdercoated, Shimano cranks and sealed BB, Mavic Open Pro rims laced to Sachs Torpedo coaster and Sachs front hub, Cut down Soma Noah's Arc bars and Brooks B17. Very nice bike to ride and gets more looks, comments and questions than the big dollar carbon roadies parked at the coffee shop on a Sunday morning.

Here's my Specialized Crossroads I've had about 10 years already. I use it for errands and rides around town. Last few years it's become a "thing" to ride it to the ball diamonds where some coworkers play softball Tuesday nights! I got the Cat Eye headlight last year after the Bell light died. The seat is a Bontrager and has an LED taillight as well as a taillight on the rear of the carrying rack.

Hey Henry,
Looks GREAT in black!

I wanna see the lowered Mazda in the background...
And here's mine. Cheapie 50 dorrah Huffy Cranbrook, yanked the fenders and chain guard, installed a chrome chain, swapped out the seat, and finally added the obligatory "big boy road soda" holder.
I try to ride these three pretty equally, but do the most riding on the track bike.
2010 Specialized Langster steel with custom wheels that I built up with All City Standard track hubs, Velocity b43 rims, and DT Swiss Competition spokes. 3t stem, origin8 bullhhorns, fancy gold KMC chain. Still has teh stock Sugino Messenger crank and chainring. I will be putting in the Dura Ace headset today and building a set of Dura Ace track hubs up to some 88MM carbon rims, then upgrading to a Dura Ace track crank and bb, and replacing all of the support groupo with Nitto counterparts.
this is the only recent picture I have, and it is partially blocked by my fiancée's 2010 Jamis Sputnik.
preview of the new wheelset, this front wheel belongs to my boss, I will be using the same rims but with different hubs.
The Cannonball:
1992 Cannondale R600 frame built up with Sram Apex derailleurs, Sram Rival crank, Sram TT500 shifters, Tektro brakes, Mavic CXP22 wheels, Origin8 bullhorns and stem, Jamis aero carbon seatpost, and a titanium railed, perforated leather Selle Italia Flite saddle. This is my road bike with fixed gear streetfighter flare.
The Hoodride:
1980's Kabuki by Bridgestone. Set up for fun and good looks.
When I am not riding, I am whippin my 1987 Volvo 740 Turbo wagon. Slightly played around with :wink:

My daily rider right now, well, not daily, but I get on it as often as I can, 2000 GT Pro Series 24
Hopefully in the next couple months this will be getting regular use,
'81 Schwinn Scrambler, build date the same month I was born, needs a good tear down and tune up
24/20 Buzz Bike, hopefully the build is done on it by the end of the month
